Technical analysis of the price of Dogecoin (Dogecoin): Why are traders betting on its rise?

The increasing interest in derivatives contracts and institutional investments in Dogecoin (Dogecoin) comes as its price looks to confirm a breakout from the cup and handle pattern that has been ongoing for 4 years.

The price is now approaching a very important area where the historical support level that has persisted since mid-2024 intersects with the upper line of the handle. If the price manages to stay above this level, it may rise towards the target level for this pattern at $0.75, representing a 345% increase compared to current levels. These optimistic forecasts are reinforced by momentum indicators, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) - currently at 43 - rising towards the neutral line, indicating a reduction in selling pressure following strong buyer intervention.

After the MACD provided a false signal, this indicator is now approaching the signal line, suggesting in the weekly price chart the potential for an increase in the strength of the long-term bullish trend.

The price needs a strong catalyst to reach these high levels, and the decision of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the establishment of spot DOGE ETFs is likely to play an important role.

The price needs to break through the next resistance level at $0.186 to continue rising strongly. If the price fails to breach this level, it may decline towards the historical support zone again. If it falls below it, it may continue to drop towards the next significant support level - coinciding with its mid-2024 low - at $0.09, representing a 45% decrease compared to current levels.
